A state of the art presentation of important advances in the field of digital holography, detailing advances related to fundamentals of digital holography, in-line holography applied to fluid mechanics, digital color holography, digital holographic microscopy, infrared holography, special techniques in full field vibrometry and inverse problems in digital holography

Pascal Picart has been Professor at the University of Maine-Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Ingénieurs du Mans (ENSIM, Le Mans, France) since 2005. His research interests included speckle metrology, optoacoustic spectroscopy, and optical biosensors. The current emphasis of his research program is on the development of new approaches in digital holography, holographic image processing, phase imaging and applications in the field of acoustics, structural mechanics, vibroacoustics and fluid mechanics.
